It really feels like you’re misreading this post. I know people have been trying to gotcha him, but that’s really nowhere to be read in this post.

I’m not really sure I follow your metaphor. This post isn’t claiming Trump should have “fixed the roof”. At best it claims we should fund NASA to detect meteors, to stick with your metaphor.

Trump’s claims are also not mentioned in this post, so whether or not it is “in reply” is also just a matter of your interpretation.
